O'leary's Pub

This pub was once a good place to go if you like over crowded rowdy drunk people bumping into you left and right. Taking this risk on the 4th of July I went in there to celebrate with my boyfriend for my birthday. After having been in there 5 min my boyfriend was kicked out by the manager after being accused of pushing her, while her husband behind her hearing the commotion, who was completely drunk and belligerent, was trying to fight my boyfriend. We left after the argument talking to bouncers and bartenders saying this was ridiculous and that this "manager" was clearly drunk as well and she was probably BUMPED and stumbled back but was to incoherent to know what was going on. Come to find out from various sources this "Manager" from there had been drinking since 3pm and it was now about 11pm. Bottom line this woman was clearly drunk as well as her husband who was trying to fight my boyfriend! You really can't make judgement call when your inebrated and she was for some reason. We had just started off the night only having a couple of drinks. I will only be going to the Chill or the Rellik for now on i advice everyone else to do the same. Pros: They have alcohol and a good waitstraff Cons: Below more

This is a local benicia place the crowd inside the bar will be around 10 or less, keep in mind people stop by to drink hang out or take off, you can get to know the owner really quickly, if you go in on a weekday you'll be the only one in there or see locals come & go. I have been there when there has been around 20 people there it's cozy. Pros: Cozy, Locals, good drinks Cons: no people, Locals more
